Pluto, the smallest planet in the solar system, but also the best one. Come to see it's beauty, experience this coldness, and challenge yourself in this temperature. You can't really imagine the coldness here until you come. Explore new things here and think of the taste of being the first person to come to the least-known planet - Pluto! How cool would that be?! So why don't you try now? P.S. Astronaut suits are provided for FREE! And if another two people come with you, the trip will be cheaper! Here are some informations about Pluto: Astronomy Issues - Pluto is the smallest planet and farthest planet from the Sun in the solar system. Seven moons in the solar system, including the Earth's moon, are actually bigger than Pluto.
- When you look at the Sun from Pluto's surface, you can only see the Sun as a bright star.
- It is farther to the Sun during most time of its orbit, so it's consider as the ninth planet. - Because of its far distance from our Earth, it became the planet that scientists know least about, which they are not sure about if Pluto has rings or not.
- It has 249-year orbit around the Sun, and the average orbital is 4.7 km per second.
- Pluto's orbit is highly elongated, more elliptical than any other planets in the solar system, and its rotational axis is tipped 118 degrees.
- It has a non-circular orbit, which is different from other planets in the solar system. For this reason, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune is for 20 years out of its years orbit.
- Its non-circular orbit and unusual position, making it the eighth planet for two decades.
- Now, Pluto is excluded from the solar system, which means its not one of the planet from the solar system anymore and there are only eight planets now.
- The day and month on Pluto have the same length, which only happened on Pluto out of the other planets in the solar system. Charon, Pluto's moon Pluto has a single moon named Charon, and it is half the diameter of Pluto (which is about half size of Pluto's). Charon orbits around Pluto about 6.4 Earth days, which exactly same amount of time for Pluto to finish its rotation once. Because Charon has such a similar size and orbit as Pluto, scientists considered them a double planet. Density/Mass/Size/Distance/Sunlight of Pluto Pluto has a density between 1.8 and 2.1 g/cc, and when it combines with its Charon, it has a mass of about 1.27×10e22 kilograms, which is about one fifth of the Earth's size. It is hard to calculate Pluto's size without Charon. Pluto has an average distance of 2.7 billion miles from the Earth, which is almost 40 times as far from the Sun as we are.
Thirty-nine times the distance of the Earth from the Sun equals to Pluto's distance from the Sun. The brightness of the sunlight on Pluto is about 0.15 the brightness on Earth, and during the day, Pluto only receives 1/1500th the intensity of sunlight we have on Earth. Pluto's space probe New Horizon is Pluto's space probe, and is the first probe that was sent to planet Pluto. It is the fastest spacecraft that has been sent to outer planets. New Horizon was launch into the space on January 19, 2006, and will arrive Pluto at 2015. However, scientist hope that the launch of New Horizon can help them study the mystery planet Pluto and it's moon, Charon. Also, they wanted to see if Pluto has rings or not. Geology Issues Pluto is believed to be 50 percent to 75 percent rock; the rest composed of ice. Pluto has a solid, icy-rock surface and a surface temperature of about -382 degrees Fahrenheit. It's surface is believe made up of snow (combination of methane nitrogen and carbon monoxide). Pluto has crust on its surface, and scientists believe that under the crust, it contains water ice and methane, with a thin mantle of ice below the crust. However, the core is probably rocky. Pluto's atmosphere is not very dense and is thin. It is hard to believe that it has a atmosphere though, because it is so cold. When Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune is, the ice on Pluto's surface will evaporate and from an atmosphere. The atmosphere continues to produce and lost, depending on Pluto's orbit. Also, there may be clouds, winds and storms in Pluto's atmosphere.

Weather Issues Pluto is not much warmed by the Sun. It is an icy planet, which is not a gas like planet like other out planets in the solar system. Its temperature may range between -238 degrees Celsius to -228 degrees Celsius. It is hard to see Pluto's wind, and the researchers didn't attempt to estimate the wind's strength.
